News release

Halifax District RCMP is investigating a fatal collision that occurred on Hwy. 102 in Goffs.

On November 17, at approximately 7 a.m., Halifax District RCMP, fire, and EHS responded to a report of a multi-vehicle collision between exits 5a and 5.

Upon arrival at the scene, RCMP officers learned that traffic on Hwy. 102 had slowed to a stop due to an unrelated collision ahead, resulting in a pile-up. A Dodge Ram 1500 travelling south on Hwy. 102 collided with a Subaru Outback. Both vehicles then hit a Ford F-150 before the Ram 1500 came to rest in the median of the highway.

The passenger of the Ram 1500, a 64-year-old Valley woman, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver, a 73-year-old Valley man, suffered serious injuries and was transported to hospital by EHS.

The driver of the Subaru, a 48-year-old Grand Lake man, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to hospital by EHS.

The driver of the Ford F-150 was uninjured.

A collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing.

Hwy. 102 was closed for several hours but has since reopened.

Our thoughts are with the victims' families at this difficult time.
